The Grove at Midtown Senior Living

Reviewer#LD121222B

I liked the atmosphere at The Grove at Midtown Senior Living. It was very clean. The staff was very friendly and answered all my questions. They have a lot of great amenities, especially in the memory care unit. They have a salon, and then they have a lot of activities. They also have an outdoor area for the residents to go to. Both the upkeep and cleanliness are very good.

The Grove at Midtown Senior Living was a very nice area. They've got very nice people. They contacted us every week, no matter what, to see how my mom was doing even when she was in the hospital. They have a little bit of a hotel vibe. It has some of the hotel-ish kitchens, but it's still very good quality. They had average activities, nothing late, nothing early, just basic activity stuff, but I didn't see a lot of it. They showed us a couple of rooms that were in transition, being cleaned and revamped, so there was some dirt and they're redoing the carpet. It's not perfect right now, but they're getting it fixed.

The Grove at Midtown Senior Living was very engaged. I had an opportunity to meet the health and wellness professional that works there and she was very outgoing and very involved with the memory care residents. There was a group of seniors who were with the activity director and she was passionate about what she was doing. I liked that they had a smaller number of residents and that they had a lot more staff on the floor with them. The room was nice, the grounds were nice, and the employees were super nice, informative, and gave me a lot of information. They were very outgoing and very, very knowledgeable. I liked that the dining room was also smaller, it made it more intimate.

The Grove at Midtown Senior Living would be a great place for an adult to receive care and housing. They had good activities and dining. The staff was kind and she did her job well. I was accommodated well, and she explained all the conditions in their facility. They have a choice of a studio or a one-bedroom apartment, and they look accommodating.

My friend moved into The Grove at Midtown Senior Living. I think they need more help, but I'm pretty happy with it. They're very kind and very caring and they seem to be on top of things. They've just been remodeled, so they're nice. Her room is small. It has one twin bed, a chair, a table with a TV, and a closet, and it has a connected kitchen for her and the lady that's next to her. It's got a bathroom also that connects the two. She's very particular and she's liked almost all the food that they've had. The activities have been great. They have bingo, which she likes. They had a Hawaiian party for them and they went all out for that. They have people that come and sing and play the guitar for them. They have a chaplain and they have services on Sundays. They took them to a movie. They went shopping at Wal-Mart. They've done a lot of things.

I toured The Grove at Midtown Senior Living. It was super clean; I think that was probably the biggest highlight. It was a little more updated than the other facility I toured. My mom has some food allergies, and they were able to accommodate allergies way better than the second place I toured. The staff were able to answer all of my questions and called to follow up and see if I needed anything additional. They were very helpful. They have a salon, they have a family dining room where families could meet just to dine with their family members, they have a screened patio, and they have a little movie room.

I toured The Grove at Midtown Senior Living. They have a very friendly staff and very clean facility. The residents were well taken care of. The girl who gave the tour was very helpful with everything I asked. I would even live there if I can. Their rooms had little kitchens. They are like a mini-apartment with everything anyone would need. They had a sitting area outside, which was very nice. The cleanliness was top-notch, and everything was very clean. Their location was OK. It's pretty close to fast food restaurants and things like that. It's in the center of town. It's busy.

I liked The Grove at Midtown Senior Living. We saw the memory care and the lady there seemed knowledgeable and took the time to answer all my questions. I liked her a lot. They had a gym where people were working out and they seemed pleased to be there.

My tour was wonderful. We ate dinner in the dining room, and the food was very good. The one problem there is that in the independent living and assisted living quarters, the only water accessible to the person is in the bathroom. The little kitchen area has no water and no sink. There's just a microwave, a refrigerator, and a bar, but no sink. It was originally built to be a hotel, and it was just converted. Our mother said she wants a sink, and that was the reason for our decision not to live there, but the place was lovely. We had supper with the residents, and the three of us that were with our mother sat down in the dining room with the staff touring us. They were very gracious, and the dining area was very nice.

Elaine

We visited. They offered more times a week, three times a week to take my mother places, like if she needed to go to the doctor or needed to go somewhere. The staff was very nice. They have an Alzheimer's unit, and I liked that I didn't have to move her. The food looked fine; it seemed OK.

It had three different sizes of rooms, a studio, a one-bedroom with a kitchen area, and a little bit bigger version of the same thing. The size of the room was good, the cleanliness was good, the colors they used were all neutral, and things were easy to clean. It had a smaller memory care area, but it was truly the more traditional assisted living. It's a nice facility, and it used to be a Hilton. It's large, it's very well done, and it sits in a nice area. The people seemed to be quite content there.

My aunt is here. She has been there for I think about a month, and so far, so good. She's happy there. There is a memory care unit, and that's what attracted me to the place. My aunt has dementia, and I think it will be an easy transition for when her condition progresses a little more. The staff assists us very well, and we're very pleased. She has a one-bedroom unit. There are a lot of activities. The facility has a library, an activity room, a crafts room, a physical therapy room, and a workout room. In addition to the main dining room, there is what is called a country kitchen. The residents can go there in the morning if they don't want to get dressed and go to the main dining room. There is a nice walking trail. The staff keeps the residents stimulated mentally, and it is done in a way that works for dementia patients.

It was much larger than the other ones I visited. I liked it, but the rooms were small. I liked the director. She was very informative, and she showed me the schedule of the activities for the seniors. As we toured, I could see that the residents were very involved in arts, crafts, and different things such as community outings. The residents that I saw seemed more active, and it would be a place that I would have considered for my parents. The dining was really nice. I did hear a comment from one of the residents that he really liked the food there.

I visited and the people there looked happy. I happened to go in around lunch time, and there were a lot of activities going on. Everybody seemed to be OK I liked that the facilities were clean. I saw people interacting with each other. Some people were reading, others visiting with each other, and things like that. The rooms and staff were really nice. If you were standing around, they would ask if you needed assistance. They were able to show us around the areas and took us to the kitchen.

We got my parent in here. It is going fine. The employees all seem very nice and willing to do whatever they can to make things go as smooth as possible. We saw a couple of communities that were satisfactory, as far as care and activities for the residents, but this one is more of a hotel like atmosphere. It is a three-story versus the typical single-story long hallway that looks like a nursing home only dolled up a little bit. This one has more of a hotel thing, which I think particularly is my mother's taste. She has only been there for a couple of plus, but it is a very strong 4 for me.

It was nice, and it was our second choice. The people who worked there were very nice, and I was really impressed with how nice they were. The facility wasn’t quite as well designed.

My mom moved in. The staff were great and very caring. The rooms were good-sized and she was the single occupant of the room. She started in the assisted living unit and eventually moved to the memory unit, and everything worked great without confusion. I would recommend this facility to other people.

I liked it very well. The staff was very nice and very helpful in giving different information I could use with the move-in. I certainly would recommend this place to others.

I was impressed with the staff. The facility is a large open area. They have a separate area for memory cases. They have their own separate little dining room enclosed so the patients can't wander off. One of the people who gave me the tour was the cook.
